DE-LA-PENA ALVAREZA, Cristina  and  BERNABEU BROTONS, Elena. Dyslexia and Dyscalculia: a Current Systematic Revision from a Neurogenetics Perspective. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.3, pp.161-172. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy17-3.ddrs.

The Specific Learning Disorders represent a heterogeneous group of common conditions that can generate important problems not only during schooling but also throughout life. The persistent difficulties in reading (dyslexia) and maths (dyscalculia) are, due to their significance and prevalence, the two most important learning disorders in both educational and clinical practice. The objective of this study is to make a synthesis of the scientific findings of the past ten years about neuroanatomical and genetic basis of dyslexia and dyscalculia. To this aim a comprehensive bibliographic analysis is conducted from 2006 until January, 2017 in English and Spanish from databases Medline, PsyInfo, Scopus, Web of Science y Dialnet. There were included 43 articles with contributions so much about dyslexia as dyscalculia from the neuroimagen and the genetics. This information will provide tools to guide psychological and educational environments and to provide definitive answers.

Keywords : Learning disorders; specific learning disorder; dyslexia; dyscalculia; neuroimage; genetics.
